Landscape engineering

The Landscape Engineering study programme presents a set of measures addressed in agricultural and rural landscapes. It covers the issues of harmonisation of production activities, their diversification with the creation of healthy living conditions with a focus on sustainable living and in accordance with the interests of water management, forestry, transport infrastructure, rural development, etc. This issue is closely linked to the protection and improvement of the soil and the protection of nature and the landscape. Waste management, recycling, the disposal of old environmental burdens and the recovery of waste, especially from agricultural production - its use to increase the organic matter content of the soil - are also part of the issue.



Prospects of graduates

Graduates find employment in state administration institutions such as environmental authorities, land offices, forest offices, Slovak Land Fund, cadastral offices, cadastral administrations, municipal offices, etc. Waste management issues, recycling, disposal of old environmental burdens and recovery of wastes, especially from agricultural production - their use to increase the content of organic matter in the soil - are also part of the subject. They will be used in consultancy services, particularly in environmental issues, in the management of secondary raw materials and in the field of the environment. They can also be used in contractor organisations focusing on land reclamation and water management construction, etc.
